Increase Library Opening Hours

 You said

I am a part-time student with a young family and work full-time until 5:30pm, I would like to request for the library to extend the opening times as the current times are posing a real strain on me which is affecting my grade and opportunity to study, now that assessment deadlines are getting closer it is really important for us part time students with other commitment to be able to gain the same quality service like other students. The times that the library is open is the times in which I am working. I currently use the library on the Saturday however it is not enough time for me to get much done, and the library is closed on the Sundays. I would really appreciate if this could be looked into, as this is becoming increasingly stressful and I'm sure this will help not only myself but many other students in the same situation as me.
